+# M00-QAR-TERRAIN-HEIGHT-001 — Terrain height diagnostic
+
+<!-- OPENWC_CLAIM:M00-QAR-TERRAIN-HEIGHT-001:sindo-main-codex:2026-07-13 -->
+
+## Ownership
+
+- Target: M00
+- Program: QAR
+- Owner/Agent ID: sindo-main-codex
+- Branch: `work/sindo-main-codex/m00-terrain-height`
+- Lease expires UTC: 2026-07-13
+- Integrator: milestone integrator
+
+## Outcome
+
+Measure rendered terrain height and camera clearance at the five build 12340 golden checkpoints without changing renderer behavior.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Adding a runtime terrain-query API or collision system.
+- Changing terrain geometry, coordinate mapping, placements, or cameras.
+- Implementing the M01 CoordinateMapper.
+
+## Paths
+
+- Exclusive: `src/tools/probe_render_terrain_height.gd`
+- Shared/hotspots: renderer baseline documentation and runner
+- Generated/ignored: local JSON probe reports
+
+## Contracts and data
+
+- Public API/events: headless diagnostic CLI only
+- Schema/format version: report schema 1
+- Migration/compatibility: none
+- Consumers: M00 fidelity diagnosis
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Requires: calibrated renderer manifest and active terrain meshes
+- Blocks: classification of under-terrain camera gaps
+- External state: local extracted/cache data
+
+## Verification
+
+- Commands: terrain probe, M00 dry-run, coordination and documentation gates
+- Fixtures: five calibrated manifest checkpoints
+- Fidelity evidence: camera clearance against rendered OpenWC terrain
+- Performance budget: offline diagnostic only
+
+## Documentation deliverables
+
+- Inline public API docs: script CLI header
+- Module specification: verification/source map
+- Data-flow diagram: terrain probe flow
+- Sequence/state/dependency diagrams: synchronous diagnostic; not applicable
+- Source map/status updates: baseline and renderer module
+
+## Simplicity and naming
+
+- Important names introduced: `terrain_height`, `camera_clearance`
+- Simplest considered solution: CPU ray against already loaded mesh
+- Rejected complexity/abstractions: new parser, physics collision, runtime query service
+- Unavoidable complexity and justification: tile-local ray transform is required by mesh ownership
+- Measured optimization evidence: not applicable
+
+## Status
+
+- State: ready
+- Done: active-mesh terrain probe, four clearance measurements, isolated waterfall missing-mesh confirmation and documentation
+- Next: integrator review; placement/composition diagnosis for four points and tile 30_49 ownership diagnosis remain separate packages
+- Blocked by:
+
+## Handoff
+
+- Commit: branch HEAD
+- Results: four cameras are 12.034..90.178 units above terrain; waterfall tile has no accessible terrain mesh after 10-second settle
+- Remaining risks: mesh ray does not measure WMO/M2 occlusion; waterfall missing mesh requires streaming ownership investigation
+- Documentation updated: `docs/RENDER_BASELINE.md`, `docs/modules/world-renderer.md`
